MainNovelChapter 660:
Natasha dragged Ashley out of the water. The yacht kept drifting away as she stared up at the figures on the
cliff, finally yelling, “K!"”
Freya didn’t look back.
She knew escape wasn’t an option.
If either she or Kristian tried to leave, Brendan would give the order and everyone would be shot.
But Ashley had no part in this, and Natasha had once helped Brendan.
That favor might be enough for him to let them go.
And in truth, Brendan was thinking the same.
He had briefly considered dragging Ashley down with him, but now that she was out of reach, he let it go.
“I should've guessed you were K,” Brendan said with a broader, almost gleeful smile. “You ought to be glad you
didn’t try escaping earlier, or you'd be riddled with bullets by now.”
“Brendan Hoffman, if you call off your men, you might still get a lighter sentence,” Freya said, her voice firm and
every syllable sharp.
“Dragging everyone down with you is pointless.”
Brendan looked down, a gravelly laugh rumbling from his chest.
He actually looked amused.

“Sentence?” he echoed. “No one has the power to sentence me.”
Freya's brow furrowed with unease.
Brendan didn’t resist as Kristian held the blade steady at his throat.
“You'd better be real careful with that dagger,” he warned. “If you slip and kill me, the entire island’s going up in
flames.”

“What did you do?” Freya asked, a cold wave of dread rushing through her.
“Oh, nothing too tic,” Brendan said with a casual shrug. “Just had a bunch of explosives rigged all over this
island. If my vital signs flatline, they'll trigger the blast.”
Freya genuinely thought he was out of his mind.
Brendan kept talking, disturbingly calm.
“Kristian, do you know why | had you wait by the sea all night?”
“Because of Dorothy.” For the first time, emotion flickered across Brendan's face. “The night they sentenced her
boyfriend to death, she sat by the sea in a thin white dress... and never moved, not even once.”
Kristian couldn't make sense of it. What did that have to do with him? He was only trying to buy time—buy time
for his reinforcements to arrive.

“You went to the police. You gave them the clues.” Brendan's voice was sharp as a blade. “You got her boyfriend
killed. And you got her killed too.”
